Artist description
From the liner notes by Christoph Wolff: Milenko Tanasijevic's fugal compositions preserve the Bachian patterns of a motoric drive, contrapuntal transparency, virtuoso techniques, intellectual assurance and musical intensity and vigor. The classical elements are engaged in a fusion with Jazz harmonic language and complex Macedonian folk dance motives. The effect is one of synergy and transcendence of diverse musical realms. |

Artist History
Milenko Jovan Tanasijevic studied piano and theory at the Macedonian Musical Center. Medallist at the 1974, '76, '78 and '80 national piano competitions, he performed solo piano recitals in France, Canada, Greece, Croatia, Slovenia, Yugoslavia and Macedonia. Milenko's CD's of original piano music "Secret Language" and "Nightlight" (1998) combine Macedonian folklore patterns with the harmonic and improvistational language of Jazz. His music evokes a vivid imagery of archaic rituals and dances. "Magnificat, Twenty Four Fugues" is the first of two cycles of fugues. "Magnificat, Book Two" will be released in February, 2001. Milenko lives in Newton, Massachusetts with his wife and four children. |
